Happy Birthday Mike!

We celebrated Mike's bday this year as a family. Mike took the day off, but his hopes for golfing were dashed by the rain. So after I got off work, we made the most of it. We went to lunch at Olive Garden together. Faith is the only one that would let me take a pic. The food was really good (as usual) and we had a great waiter that brought him a plate full of chocolates with a candle in the middle to sing to him. It made us laugh and Mike was a good sport.

He had previously already bought himself his Bday present when he bought a Wii U a few weeks ago and I also bought him some nice workout clothes (per his request) while we were on vacation, so there was nothing for him to open from us.  After lunch , however, we drove to a comic book store to let him pick out a new graphic novel to read. Then it was back home to let the kids rest during the rainy day. After some naps, we got out the Mario Kart cake the kids and I made for him and sang and blew out the candles.

Then it was time to take C to football practice and the rest of a "normal" night. I think he enjoyed a pretty "ok" day with us.
